Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday chided his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath on BJP's performance in the by-elections there, by advising him to spend less time "lecturing" Karnataka on development.
Congratulating the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party for the "historic victory", he said unity among the non-BJP parties played a key role in the win.
"BJP has suffered a humiliating loss in the Lok Sabha seats held by the CM & Dy CM of UP. Congratulations to SP & BSP for this historic victory. Unity among the non-BJP parties has played a key role," he said in a tweet.
Mr Adityanath has already made two visits to poll bound Karnataka for campaigning, where elections are due in April/May.
Gorakhpur was vacated by Mr Adityanath and Phulpur by his deputy Keshav Prasad Maurya, following their election to the Uttar Pradesh state legislative council.
JDS state President HD Kumaraswamy, who has entered into an alliance with BSP for the Karnataka assembly polls, congratulated party chief Mayawati and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav for the victory in the Uttar Pradesh by-polls.
Lalu Prasad's RJD retained Araria Lok Sabha in Bihar, the results for which was also announced on Wednesday.
